Mets: Sunday Night Baseball
First of all, I hate Sunday night baseball. I hate it especially when I have to be up at 2:30 am on Monday morning for work with a two hour drive ahead of me to Long Island for work.
I really wanted to sleep last night but I got sucked into the game. It was great hearing a juiced up crowd cheering for the Mets. A sellout for a Sunday night in August? Who knew. I have been giving my cousin Shannon(@metspolice) a whole bunch of crap lately about not attending any games, especially after the fact that for many years he said CitiField didn’t feel like the Mets home. I was at the game Saturday and the place was crazy. It feels like home. It did Rock Like Shea. It does Sunday night it came through the tv the same way. This is what we have wanted for a long time. Will it continue, I hope so.
I am enjoying this. After the boring baseball for the last few years it seems like we might be finally at the precipice of the team playing well for a while. Am I getting ahead of myself? Maybe.
That crowd was nuts after the three homers in the third. You could feel the buzz coming through the tv. It was great. I can’t wait to get back to citifield when the Mets come back home.
You guys enjoying this as much as I am? If you are awesome! Let’s go Mets!!!

Mets: Saturday Night Baseball
What a game folks, am I right? CitiField was packed. The crowd was electric, the fans were into the game. People were happy to be at a Mets game. Hey Wilpons! See what happens when you make the moves necessary for fans to feel like you care that you own a baseball team? People show up. You don’t even have to care, just pretend that you do and people will show up.
There was a buzz in that building that I haven’t felt except for the Johan no hitter. The whole stadium felt like I was sitting at a 7line outing. It was that intense at times. Fans were paying attention to the game and not just chatting with a game going on in the background.The ovations for Cespedes and Flores were electric. The Crowd was loving it.THIS is how you start to TAKE BACK NEW YORK. It was tough getting to food stands and bathrooms because of the lines. You know what? I’ll take it.
The Mets down two runs in the top of the first? Last month I would have been like this game is going to be ugly. Not now. I don’t know why I am feeling so sure with the Mets now. I knew they had a chance to come back and they didn’t fail me. It really is amazing when you add some major league players to a team.
The crowd’s leaving the stadium in the stairwells last night were chanting LET’S GO METS and the amount of people and the loudness of it reminded me of Shea. The whole damn night reminded me of Shea. Now that I got a taste of it Saturday Night, I want more. I am going to be greedy and say that I want the Mets to win the east. F*ck the wild card. Play your hearts pit fellas. We fans have been patient enough. This is the year to turn this team,no wait, this organization back to being something a Mets Fan can be proud of. I am not going to overreach and say WORLD SERIES or BUST, but you better get into the playoffs and win at least one series.
I am enjoying this immensely. Shannon it might be time for you to find your mojo and come back to the park…
Cespedes Shirsey and Jersey already in the wild.
Next up will be an ESPN matchup on Sunday Night Baseball. If you can’t make it to the game to live in the excitement, watch it unfold on ESPN as part of the DISH TV Network. DISH provides ESPN and Fox so you’ll be able to watch a lot of the top Mets games down the stretch.
Mets Crowd Shots 8/1
Nice night here at Citifield. Not too hot, nice breeze, I’ll take it. Cespedes received a nice ovation when introduced .
Since Shannon said he wanted good crowdshots, I made sure I got lens flare going on for artistic reasons.
7:30 crowd shot up date. Sections 534 535 and 536 have empty seats, rest of the park pretty damn full.

Mets: What Happened Last Night?
As I woke up this morning for work I was trying to figure out if I was dreaming last night or was I part of one big episode of Punk’d. The Mets looked like they landed the bat that they wanted in Carlos Gomez from the Brewers for Wheeler and Flores. Flores was crying on the field during the game, Collins had no idea of a trade happening, and Sandy denied that there was or would be a trade. Now reports are coming out that the trade was scuttled due to medical issues. No, not Wheeler’s. Carlos Gomez’s. Supposedly the Mets backed out of the trade due to something being wrong with Gomez’s hip. Scott Boras, Gomez’s agent said there is nothing wrong with the hip in question. Damn, I’m getting dizzy…. Scully!! watch out…the Pizza Boy is a vampire…..
